Even with android custom ROMs like Lineage, support eventually ends. Meanwhile, you can just slap on linux onto any old computer and its still getting the latest updates. 🤔
Why not just do the same thing with phones? Forever phone updates? 👀

Why not just do the same thing with phones? Forever phone updates? 👀
Simple. We let them get away with it. Compare:
“Your PC is out of date” “Don’t be stupid, it’s only 2 years old and still works fine” with
“Your phone is out of date” “OK I’ll buy a new one”.
There needs to be a lot more of Answer A to Statement B.
The stupidity with phones gets even worse when you consider the hardware in them and how little of it people really use… Androids are literally pocket-sized laptops.
Install Tasker and you’ve got a pretty serious workhorse.
Install Termux and it’s next level. Especially if you use proot to install a full Linux environment.
